Octagon vs Round Barrel Weight

[Axehandle]

Quick question:  When it comes to FAs.... How does an octagon barrel's weight compare to a round barrel of the same caliber and length?

I believe a little heavier, but much much better looking.

I was gonna say i didn't think it was much as its not noticable but as Paul posted, its basically negligable.  I sure like the look of it though
